Previous patches cleaning up linker symbols, also merged any explicit . = ALIGN(x); into section definitions -- e.g .bss ALIGN(x) : instead of. = ALIGN(x); . bss : {...} However, if the output address is not specified then one will be chosen for the section. This address will be adjusted to fit the alignment requirement of the output section following the strictest alignment of any input section contained within the output section. So let's get rid of the redundant ALIGN directives when they are not needed. While at add comments for the alignment of __bss_start/end since our C runtime setup assembly assumes that __bss_start - __bss_end will be a multiple of 4/8 for armv7 and armv8 respectively. It's worth noting that the alignment is preserved on .rel.dyn for mach-zynq which was explicitly aligning that section on an 8b boundary instead of 4b one.
